I feel a little frivolous publishing a post about my wine tasting trip after just looking at breaking news about what happened at the Boston Marathon. However, I have nothing wise to say about that, and I did write this post before I knew anything terrible was going to happen. Therefore, I make bold to offer the following comments about the night preceding my Finger Lakes tour.
Wine weekend started Friday when my sister, sister-in-law, mother and I drove to Seneca Falls, where we had a room in the Hampton Inn.
Regular readers (Hi, Diane!) know that Mohawk Valley Girl does not usually plug chains (although I seem to remember doing so just recently; sorry). However, one encounters very few hotels or motels that are not chains these days. That’s especially true when you go someplace unfamiliar. Usually somebody in your group (in this case my sister) goes on-line and finds something.
Some nit-picker (you know who you are) will be pleased to point out that the Finger Lakes region is NOT in the Mohawk Valley. Well, I do sometimes venture out of my beloved home territory. The Finger Lakes are easy driving distance from the Mohawk Valley for a day or weekend trip. Can I get on with the post now?
The Seneca Falls Hampton Inn is a very good representative of its brand. The people that work there are all very friendly and helpful. They were accommodating about supplying extra towels and bedding, and they were happy to let me fill my large thermos from their supply of hot coffee that is available at all times (one of my favorite extras in a hotel or motel). We also enjoyed the hot breakfast buffet.
This is a short post today, because I have another bear of a week ahead of me. Please stay tuned as this blog next turns into All Dirty Work at the Crossroads All The Time.
